    By Alisa Fleming on November 26, 2014 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Need a fun, last-minute dessert that dazzles? These mini apple pies have a fun single-serve presentation, but are simply baked up in muffin tins! Arrange the mini apple pies on a decorative platter for guests to grab their own at Christmas festivities, or plate them with a dollop of whip for intimate Thanksgiving dinners.

    Easy Mini Apple Pies with Dairy-Free Vanilla Whip (vegan, soy-free, nut-free, optionally gluten-free)This recipe is adapted from www.McCormick.com. They shared both the original recipe and the photo with us for the holidays!

    Special Diet Notes: Easy Mini Apple Pies

    Author: McCormick & Company
    Recipe type: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 12 servings
    Ingredients
    Mini Apple Pies
    • 1 (14-ounce) package refrigerated dairy-free pie crusts (2 crusts)
    • 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
    • ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    Topping
    • ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
    • ¼ cup all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
    • 2 tablespoons cut up cold dairy-free buttery spread or coconut oil
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
    Vegan Vanilla Whip
    • 1 cup coconut cream*
    • ¼ cup powdered confectioners' sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
    2. For the Mini Apple Pies, unroll crusts on lightly floured surface. Using 3½-inch round cutter, cut out 6 rounds from each crust. Re-roll scraps as necessary. Press dough rounds into muffin pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray.
    3. Toss apples, brown sugar, flour, vanilla and cinnamon in large bowl. Divide evenly among crusts.
    4. For the Topping, mix brown sugar, flour, buttery spread or oil, and cinnamon in medium bowl until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle evenly over apple filling.
    5. Bake 14 to 18 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
    6. For the Vanilla Whipped Cream, beat coconut cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until combined and smooth.
    7. Serve pies with vanilla whip for garnish.
    Notes
    *Whether using store-bought coconut cream or full-fat canned coconut milk, let the can settle, refrigerating if needed to help set-up, and skim 1 cup of the thickest cream from the top. Depending on the quality of the brand, you may need 2 cans. Trust me, firm coconut cream does whip up! But if it is a lesser quality that is too thin, it won't work.

      How would you turn this into a blueberry pie and do you recommend adding tops to these?

        Hi Anna, that’s hard to say without testing. You can simply use blueberry pie filling. If making the filling, I’m going to guess about 4 cups of blueberries, and you might need more thickener (can add starch – perhaps a tablespoon) since blueberries are juicier.

      What brand of coconut milk/cream do you recommend?

        I find that So Delicious Culinary works the best, but I have been told that it may be out of stock in many stores. Thai Kitchen and Native Forest are very popular brands. But make sure to chill and then use only the very thick, almost solid coconut cream.

      These are so cute! They’d be perfect for making sure I don’t eat an entire pie all by myself, which tends to happen a lot of the time… but then I would be in danger of eating the entire tray, haha!

      Do you have a recipe for homemade pie crust because the one from wholly wholesome says it is processed where milk is in the facility I don’t want my son to get sick I’m not sure if I should use it or not.
